I’ve been hearing about this recipe for years now, so it was a delight to finally get to try it from the source. It is intended to be a low carb recipe- its author maintains a low-carb regimen- but now that I’ve published it here, there is apparently some contention over whether or [...]

English Muffins
Posted in afternoon tea, baked goods, recipes on Jun 13th, 2010
[updated 8/8/2010: edited, and now with photos!]
It took me a while to actually follow through on the comment from this post, but I finally made my own English muffins.
The dough for English muffins is softer and stickier than your usual bread dough. During the second rise, you form the muffins and let it rest on [...]
Orange-Almond Polenta Cake
Posted in baked goods, recipes on Mar 28th, 2010
This is a delightfully light and fluffy cake with the pleasant taste of oranges and a hint of almonds. It’s also super-easy to make. I am slightly disappointed that it doesn’t have the consistency of baked polenta– it has more of a cornbread consistency, but lighter. I’m sure I could tweak the recipe to make [...]
I’ve been on a Korean cuisine kick lately. I think it has a lot to do with living near an HMart– we’ve been buying lots of ingredients to make Korean recipes, with delicious success. It also helps that the salespeople often offer free samples while shopping so that you can try before you buy.
I don’t [...]
Caprese Stratas w/Basil, Tomato & Mozzarella
Posted in Italian, baked goods, brunches, dinners, recipes, regional on Jan 23rd, 2010
This recipe was passed along to me by my sweetie Dragonia. It’s definitely not the sort of thing Jack and I usually eat around the House of Cards, but I was intrigued by the use of nutmeg in conjunction with bruschetta-like ingredients, and it made for a nice change-up. Depending on your own culinary history, [...]
Pepperoni Bread
Posted in appetizers, baked goods, recipes on Dec 21st, 2009
I had the urge to bake cookies for the holiday party at work, but was afraid other staff members would feel the same way and then there would be a glut of cookies. Not that I think that’s a bad thing, mind you, but in the interest of providing a more balanced set of foods [...]
In the summertime, I like to make panzanella. When I saw that there were recipes for a winter version, I had to try it.
This is a yummy combination of garlic-parmesan croutons, butternut squash, and Brussels sprouts, from Michael Chiarello. The recipe is here. Some changes: It took me twice as long to cook the vegetables [...]
Lamb Stew garnished with Tzatziki
Posted in Greek, dinners, recipes, regional, soups on Nov 1st, 2009
We discussed lamb stew at the Amber Horizons-SL Halloween Party, in sufficient detail that I simply had to follow through. Was going food shopping anyway…

LAMB STEW
4 large leeks (the white parts, plus as much of the green as you dig)
3 tbsp butter + a few tsps of olive oil

I have such trouble with avocado affinage (is it legal to use that word in reference to a food other than cheese? I sense Brillat-Savarin tossing in his grave) that I forget sometimes just how good guacamole can be when you use one that’s properly ripened. The version shown in the picture above was made [...]
Kumquat Nut Bread
Posted in baked goods, recipes on May 3rd, 2009
Lipby and I went to Florida this past winter to visit his parents. We arrived, coincidentally enough, during the Kumquat Festival, and we just had to go. We all took a shuttle bus into Dade City, and were treated to kumquats, whole and in various preparations. Lipz and I bought a huge box of meiwa [...]
